“I think it’s not fair”

The Everton boss has explained that Pickford shouldn’t be singled out for criticism.

Not only that, he claimed that ‘Jordan has all my confidence’.

‘I don’t like to go on particularly one player, I think it’s not fair,’ he explained, as quoted by the Mail.

‘I’m the first one here and my players are always behind me because I’m the first one to take all the responsibilities of what my players are doing on the pitch.

‘I understand everything that people are saying about Jordan. Jordan has all my confidence, like Maarten (Stekelenburg) and Joao Virginia, our goalkeepers.

‘He has to understand during one career that in some moments everybody is happy with you, the other moments some people speak not good things about you. It’s normal in football.

‘These people now are maybe writing or saying something about him, they are the same people that eight, nine or 10 months ago were celebrating the good performances of Jordan.’
